Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
A house full of rowdy, over-excited 6 year olds? No thanks, we’re not that silly! It was Morgan’s birthday last week, during half term so we waited until this week to have his party and decided to let the good people at Play Planet in Llandre organise most of it for us. Play Planet is...
It was another bright sunny day here for the builders so work has been progressing well. They’ve started on the brickwork and have got on well with it having built both the internal and external walls up to what will be floor level. The bricks seem to match nicely with those on the house so...
In February it was my Birthday and I had a sleepover with James and Cameron. I got a power kite from Mummy and Daddy and it looks good. I’ll need to practice if I want to fly it well though. It was parents evening at school so Mummy and Daddy went in to see my...
Well, the iPad 2 has been officially launched and will be out in the UK later in March. We’ve had an iPad since Christmas now and use it every day. The whole family uses it and we love it. I’ve already written an iPad review so won’t go into what we use it for here...
As a self-employed freelance website designer I don’t have a company pension plan so have been constantly squirrelling money away in a cash ISA which acts as my retirement fund.

It was Morgans 6th Birthday yesterday – Yep, 6 already! He had plenty of present as usual, a 1m Ozone Imp power kite from us, lots of Club Penguin things, a Ben 10 game, some Lego and a Harry Potter costume which he seems to have been living in ever since. We popped down to...
Those of you who know me will be aware that I am not quite a sporty as Al and I have to admit that since having Morgan my activity levels have dropped off considerably. I keep meaning to do something about it but there always seems to be something else more urgent to do than...
It’s half term this week so Morgan is having a couple of days at home with me. He’s learnt to make me cups of coffee so I’ve had a bit of a caffeine overdose today as he just keeps making me endless cup after cup! Morgan spent the morning in his pyjamas, while I cleaned...
Following my little incident whilst out windsurfing on Friday I’ve been unable to get out on the water. My lip is still swollen but isn’t too bad, but I also injured my foot and that has been getting worse. It’s sore to walk on and pretty bruised so stuffing it into a footstrap probably wouldn’t...
I think Anna got carried away in the butchers today, she only went in for some sausages but now we’re having giant steaks for dinner… all £13 worth of them!
